I think it's a rebranded Foundation/Developer edition (I haven't 
downloaded it myself so I can't check).  Here's a feature matrix:

JBuilder is now hosted on the Eclipse platform.  I admit, it takes some 
getting used to, but that's the path for all future versions of JBuilder.

If Turbo includes the project import feature, then the steps you need to 
follow are

1. File | New | Other...

2. Legacy JBuilder / Java Project from Existing JBuilder .jpx Project

3. <Next>

If Turbo doesn't include that feature then you would probably need to 
create an Eclipse project from scratch.  That shouldn't really be too 
hard.  File | New | Other... Java / Java Project and/or File | Import... 
General / File System should probably do 90% to 99% of the work.

I've actually found it to be more convenient to do a manual conversion 
in many cases instead of using the project import wizard.  The wizard is 
easier, obviously, but doing it yourself gives you more control over the 
end result.

I downloaded it, from the download page and unzipped the installation 
archive (506MB on disk); this created a JBuilder2007 installation source in 
the root folder of my second harddisk, so it appears on D:\JBuilder2007

In this directory, there's a "install_windows.exe" program., a few
HTML and 
PDF docs plus a subdirectory "Disk1" that contains another directory 
"InstData", itself containing a small "MediaId.properties"
(which just 
specifies a product id) and a large 449MB file "Resource1.zip" with
most of 
the other data. The "Disk1" subdirectory also contains
"VM\jbinstall.exe" 
which is the effective JBuilder installer with its VM (64MB).

There's also an "autorun.inf"; if I burn all this directory on a CDRW
and 
insert it in my CD drive this autorun will run the
"install_windows.exe" 
program.

So I launch the small "install_windows.exe" app, that just presents a
logo 
and a menu for browsing the curernt disk, looking at the HTML and PDF 
documents. The first option of the menu will in fact launch 
"Disk1\VM\jbinstall".

The "InstallAnywhere" installer starts preparing some data then the 
Jbinstall program presents me a logo for JBuilder and asks for my language. 
As I am running Vista (february 2007 final release, Ultimate Edition, 
French), It proposes me the choice of language. It recognizes French is 
installed by default in my setting so just wants confirmation.

Now I press OK.

I get nearly immediately the following message titled "L'installateur ne 
peut pas être exécuté sur ce système.", saying "L'installation est 
impossible avec votre configuration. Elle va être abandonnée".

Let's retry by selecting English instead, I get the same message in English. 
There's no error log anywhere. Nothing that indicates why my system or 
configuration is not compatible for JBuilder.

Note that My Vista isntallation already has an installation of Eclipse, that 
runs successfully with Sun Java 6 or Java 5. So what do you want?
It seems that JBuilder 2007 just can't run in Vista, or may be only in 
compatibility mode (where protected system folders are virtualized, and not 
accessible without administrator escalation, and some other unspecified 
options). Unfortunately there's no log generated anywhere that can be 
investigated.

So for me JBuilder207 does not work at all on Vista.
